"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

~Ephesians 3:14-21

TRUE LOVE: "DO AS I HAVE DONE TO YOU"

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
“When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
“No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”
Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”
Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.” For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.”
~John 13:6-17


THE STORY OF THE CHACO SANDALS
Jamie Hofmeister following Jesus's example as she washed this poor ladies feet...realizing she had no shoes!

 "And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet."
~JESUS

Jamie felt God leading her to give up her CHACOS so this lady would not have to walk bare-footed...Jamie asked Celso to help her cut her own shoes down to help make them a better fit for this sweet lady!

After cleaning her feet...Jamie made sure each strap was tight as she helped the lady
put on her "new" pair of sandals!

GREAT JOY FILLED THE ROOM
Tears flowed from many as everyone watched this lady stand up to thank Jamie for
sacrificially giving the shoes off her own feet to help her!

What a beautiful example, Jamie, you are to all!

"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
~John 13:35
